Obama’s new slogan (borrowed from communists and Nazis) and his unseemly spiking of the football in Afghanistan yesterday as he strikes the absurd pose of bold military leader have been combined into a campaign poster sure to rally liberals out of their funk of disillusionment:

Chickenhawk – noun – a term used by Liberals to denegrate a Conservative. It does not matter in the least if the Conservative served in the military or not. It is also a term NEVER applied to a Liberal Democrat, no matter how often the definition is changed to suit the Conservative-du-jour.

lao

Do tell us how Obama actively avoided military service when he was younger.

Fiberal

Lao-Z,

That’s not a reasonable challenge given that BO has either sealed all of his records or has forged the ones he couldn’t keep sealed.

So BO did not serve his country in the military and and has apparently forged his selective service card.

Whether people want to quibble about chickenhawk, or chickensh**t, or whatever, it would be better to just label him a criminal.

Lao,

So the definition now includes actively avoiding military service? The last definition you posted did not include that, while Sinister’s did.

I (and EVERYONE) know too little about Obama’s past to know whether he did or not not ACTIVELY avoid serving. However we know he did not serve and is now commanding others and sending them to die; in record numbers in Afghanistan.

But since you want to defint CHICKENHAWK as you have, tell me two things…
1) How does your definition apply to George W. Bush, who did serve and was called a chickenhawk?
2) How does your definition NOT apply to Bill Clinton, who never served and actively avoided service and was NEVER called a chickenhawk?

lao

So stanwee, you now acknowledge you have no information, beyond your own imagination, for calling Obama a chickenhawk.

What a surprise.

When Cheney became eligible for the draft, during the Vietnam War, he applied for and received five draft deferments. In 1989, The Washington Post writer George C. Wilson interviewed Cheney as the next Secretary of Defense; when asked about his deferments, Cheney reportedly said, “I had other priorities in the ’60s than military service.” Cheney testified during his confirmation hearings in 1989 that he received deferments to finish a college career that lasted six years rather than four, owing to sub par academic performance and the need to work to pay for his education. Initially, he was not called up because the Selective Service System was only taking older men. When he became eligible for the draft, he applied for four deferments in sequence. He applied for his fifth exemption on January 19, 1966, when his wife was about 10 weeks pregnant. He was granted 3-A status, the “hardship” exemption, which excluded men with children or dependent parents. In January 1967, Cheney turned 26 and was no longer eligible for the draft.

I’m still waiting for PROOF that bin laden is dead. They dispose of his body secretly in the dead of night, and I’m supposed to take the word of a proven liar that it really happened. I don’t think so.

StanInTexas

So Lao, any chance you will answer my questions @11:06?

lao

No, I prefer to ignore you stupidy.

By the way, I’m quite happy to see you label Obama a “hawk” on national defense issues.

StanInTexas

I see, so you will respond to me when you have a lie to tell, but will not answer my questions? Gotcha!

BTW, Cheney did not avoid the draft or military service. He applied for AND RECEIVED deferrments. An example of avoiding the draft would be what Bill Clinton did. You know, the man you RFEFUSE to call a chickenhawk.

Also, I NEVER called Obama a hawk on national defense issues.

lao

Oh silly me…I meant stupidity…stanwee must be contagious.

Somehow I remember barry saying there was not a war going on and his presence wasnt required at the time of his eligilibity. Bear in mind, with his associsations and history, he wouldnt qualify as a janitor in OUR White House.

So YOU made a typo and it’s MY FAULT???? There is Lao, in all his glory. He blames others when HE screws up!

Lao, you are pathetic. Run back to RWN.

lao

By the way, catch Jon Stewart’s take on the whole republican whine about Obama and bin Laden in yesterday’s opening Daily Show segment.

Priceless.

StanInTexas

Right, Lao… because I am as STUPID as you to listen to a Comedian for policital news and facts.

So stanwee, you now acknowledge you have no information, beyond your own imagination, for calling Obama a chickenhawk.

What a surprise.

And then rather than addressing Bush’s service, there is the posting about Dick Cheney.

I’m curious how many brave souls would be willingly drafted into a war if they could get a deferment which would at least postpone their serving? Lao, would you have joined up when LBJ was commander in chief?

You can’t even defend your beliefs, so who cares what you spew?

Elizabeth Warren: I listed myself as minority in order to make friends “with people who are like I am”

The President has crossed the line this time. Patting yourself on the back while Navy Seals and support teams who had a mission to complete as “their job” and placing their lives in danger is the last straw. What about the Seal Team that was shot down a month later with loss of life. Does the President take credit for that loss of life also? He doesn’t even mention those deaths ! What a pathetic loser this President is!

Amerika’s march towards Communism by the Barack Obama administration. “We shall move “Forward” and be “Flexible” while bringing Re-Distribution and “collective” empowerment to the people. What a full blown crock of you know what! The Obama regime has gone from Hope and Change to “Forward and Flexible”!
